Hi, this is Amy, from the Board of The Free Range Learning Cooperative.
On this website, I just created a donate page where you can contribute funds to help with school start up costs. Please make a donation, no matter how small or large.
Please tell your families, tell your friends to donate. Send an email to 5 friends, directing them to this website, asking them to contribute.
Tell them this is a crucial time as we try with all our hearts to bring this program to local families.

Stories Coming to Life: Tuesday, March 2nd from 10-12pm
This program will meet at the Center for Expressive Arts and Experiential Education at 1317 Commercial St. where we will experience a magical morning immersing ourselves in fairy-tales, folk-tales, myths and legends. We will dress-up in costumes and act out a variety of tales from books and from our imaginations. Students with a flair for the performing arts will love entering a world created by their own imaginations. For students 4 and up.
All Ages Watershed/Outdoor Art, Wednesday from 10-12:30
All ages will meet at 10am at the Center for Expressive Arts and Experiential Education at 1317 Commercial St. for a morning circle including songs and games. We will do some hands-on activities to illustrate the relationships between all the parts of a riparian ecosystem. Next, we will take our sack lunches down to Maritime Heritage Park for a fun outdoor science/art lesson.
